Session 1890 <br />July 1, 2003 <br /> <br />that approves the plans, because of the emergency exit situation at the <br />soccer building. <br /> <br />Engineers believe the aerator, requested by the Water Polo Association, <br />is not suitable. <br /> <br />The engineers have found a solution to the pool depth problem. <br />The shallow end will be more shallower at 33" and the lap lanes, at the <br />deep end, will be about 54". Prop K's request to deepen the lap lanes was <br />reported to be not practical by the engineers, because it was cost <br />prohibitive and a significant engineering constraint. Prop K wished to <br />keep the pool lip/curb. The engineers suggested building the deck 4" <br />higher around the pool, sloping away from the pool, so it doesn't become <br />a trip hazard. This provides 4" of extra pool depth. We want less width at <br />the shallow end, though, so the engineers will build more flooring here to <br />meet this request. <br /> <br />Ms. Welsch asked why would we couldn't still keep the gutter design if the deck <br />is going to be raised four inches. Mr. Ollendorff said that fiberglass is needed to <br />this and it is a totally different design over gunite. He doesn't know the specific <br />reasons why. The engineer explained that you could only raise the drain holes <br />higher in a fiberglass pool. Ms. Welsch asked if we could raise the deck more <br />than four inches. Mr. Ollendorff said that we could, but it isn't needed. It is just <br />adding more cost. The engineers strongly advised against the lip/curb idea <br />because they say it is a trip hazard. Lip/curbs were also wanted originally for <br />flood protection. But with the built up deck, the deck will actually slope back to <br />help with water pooling around the pool. Ms. Welsch clarified that it isn't a design <br />problem then, it just adds more cost if the deck is raised higher. Mr. Ollendorff, <br />referring to the engineers explanation, stated that if the deck is raised higher, it <br />makes the slope steeper, which would cause some issues with BOCA. The <br />engineers say that the costs involved with this are relatively small. <br /> <br />The Mayor called the question of the Council to accept the changes discussed. <br />Ms. Colquitt moved approval. Mr. Sharpe seconded the motion, which carried <br />unanimously. <br /> <br />Mayor Adams adjourned the meeting at 2:46 p.m. <br /> <br />Leisha Meine Forsythe <br />City Clerk <br /> <br />Page 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
